decimal places

[SusieQ]

Hi All
can anyone tell me the easiest way to make sure numbers get passed with 2
decimal places?

ie:
<select name="TagCost" id="TagCost">
<option value="25.00">1 @ 25.00</option>
<option value="50.00">2 @ 25.00</option>
</select>

fprice=request( "TagCost") <------- need to make sure this is 25.00 not 25

TIA

Re: decimal places

1) dont use Request() use Request.Form()/Request.QuerySt ring()/etc. Wont
effect the outcome but it's propper.
2) it will come through as that value unless you run a convertion on it to
something else. ensure your decimals by doing a convert to dec.
